Join us in Columbus on May 19 for a breakfast briefing – “Defining Your Company’s Immigration Policy”

Like never before, in order to compete in today’s global marketplace, companies need to ensure they have the best talent with the skillset that will help distinguish them from their competition. Many companies find that the best talent may not be around the corner and companies must look more globally to acquire the workforce their businesses demand.

In this breakfast briefing, Rob Cohen, Chair of Porter Wright’s Immigration Practice, will address the range of potential issues for employers who hire foreign nationals and issues to consider when developing a corporate immigration policy to help manage the immigration caseload, costs, and the expectations of the foreign national employees, their families and the managers responsible for their work.

Key takeaways will include:

Effective policies to build the institutional knowledge necessary to balance the demands for access to international talent and still maintain an effective compliance program.

Develop training models to ensure your company is complying with immigration laws across your workforce.

Address the needs of foreign national employees’ and their families with policies consistent with other Human Resource policies and practices.

Maintaining the flexibility to adapt and take advantage of developments in immigration law that may impact the concerns of the foreign national employees.

How to best manage job changes and comply with outdated immigration laws.
